In a recent interview, Harris said that landing the coveted role came as a total surprise.

"I couldn't believe it, I thought they were having a joke," Harris said, reports Flicks and Bits. "I know that they auditioned thousands of girls, they auditioned all around the world, so I thought I was thrown in there to make up numbers."

She continued: "I didn't think anyone would see me as a Bond girl. For me it's a huge, huge honour because I grew up watching these movies and loving these movies. I truly never thought I would be a part of them. I was so over the moon."
